Remarks & Notes

Five units still in pre-merger schemes leads this BN southbound at Tacoma in this shot from the spring of 1972. The Ex SP&S FA's didn't last very long in BN service. If I remember correctly they were gone by the fall of 1972. Slide has been in my collection with no photographer information listed.
